In a recent video uploaded by Krafton India on BGMI's official social media handles, the gaming company dropped a tantalizing hint that the highly anticipated Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) Season 2 might be hosted as a LAN event in the vibrant city of Mumbai. The video not only urged players to register for the tournament but also showcased captivating images of arenas filled with enthusiastic audiences and posters of the tournament adorning the streets of Mumbai.

BGIS is Coming to Mumbai

With Mumbai being a hotbed for Tier-1 BGMI Esports players and boasting a massive following of millions of fans closely tracking the game's Esports scene, the excitement is palpable as residents eagerly await confirmation on the dates and venue for the potential LAN event.

The promotional video further revealed that BGIS Season 2 will feature an astounding prize pool of ₹2,00,00,000. While the preliminary stages of the tournament are expected to be conducted online, the tantalizing prospect of the Grand Finals being held as a LAN event in Mumbai with a live audience adds an electrifying element to the competition.

For seasoned BGMI Esports enthusiasts, the mention of LAN events evokes fond memories of previous tournaments such as the Nodwin x LOCO All Stars Invitational, Battlegrounds Mobile India Showdown, and Battlegrounds Mobile Pro Series. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, those events had to forego the presence of live audiences. Now, with Krafton's subtle hint in the video, fans are eager to experience the thrill of watching their favorite superstars battling it out on stage while being cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd.

The prospect of BGIS Season 2 unfolding in Mumbai also raises curiosity about the participating teams in the Grand Finals. As Mumbai's vibrant gaming community welcomes the possibility of hosting the event, all eyes are on the developers to see which teams will ultimately make it to the final rounds of the competition.
